View From Here: On Susan Rice, United States Ambassador to the U.N

U.
s Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice

 

Susan Rice, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, has come under blistering attack by members of the Republican Party, most notably Senators John McCain and Mitch McConnell, for her explanation of the events surrounding the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including the Ambassador, Chris Stevens.

 

Their attacks on Ambassador Rice, an extraordinarily accomplished performer in a series of high profile positions including Special Assistant to President Bill Clinton and Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council in the White House, have been virulent and personal, and are seen as part of the continuing Republican assault on President Barack Obama and their attempt to make his presidency a failed one.
By calling Ambassador Rice “not very bright and incompetent,” they have aroused the righteous indignation and ire of the African-American community, which has rallied around the Ambassador to protect her from throwbacks like South Carolina’s Lindsay Graham, who we know would have unabashedly called her that N——r woman, in an earlier time in our history.

The attack and defense have been visceral and there will be no backing away, but it is unfortunate that the fight over the her presumed nomination for Secretary of State has been racist at its core, rather than policy-driven.

If it was driven by policy, there would be a much more interesting discussion involving the United States’ ongoing role in Africa. In an interview by Rob Kall, Glen Ford of the Black Agenda Report said, “It is Susan Rice who has been blocking … the release of the last two reports from the UN documenting the role of Uganda and Rwanda, who are the United States’ two main allies- military allies- to the U.S.’s biggest henchmen in Africa.

“These UN reports document how they are complicit, in fact are the main actors, in the genocide in the Congo that has killed six million people. And if Rwanda and Uganda are the main actors in this genocide that means that the United States is the main actor in the genocide in Congo.” In the same interview Ford has described her as “demanding blockades and airstrikes against Sudan, invasion of Somalia, embargos on little Eritrea and regime change in Libya.” And it was Ambassador Rice who infamously and successfully argued against using the word “genocide” to describe the killing of 800,000 Rwandans in April of 1994, because of the effect it might have on the then upcoming congressional elections.

So while Ambassador Rice is no doubt brilliant and accomplished, she, like former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, seems too willing to further the aims of a power structure that does not have the best interests of people of color around the world at the top of their agenda. If the president does in fact nominate Ambassador Rice for Secretary of State, we don’t expect to see questions about these matters in her confirmation hearings and that would be a loss for all of us.

Bed-Stuy BID: A Gateway to the World

A “Long” History of Community Development: Joe Long points to the glass mural over Applebee’s that reflects the leadership who opened the door for today’s Gateway Business Improvement District, one of 70 such districts in New York City. On the mural are, from left, early community empowerment pioneers: the late Judge Thomas Russell Jones, John Doar, Robert Kennedy, Elsie Richardson and Senator Jacob Javits. Mr. Long, who owned “Birdel’s” for many years in the area, was a catalyst for change and worked with these early heroes and heroines of 1960’s Bed-Stuy community development movement.

 

If the Bed-Stuy Gateway Business Improvement District were a corporation, it would be one of the greatest examples of diversity and multiculturalism. Walking along the Fulton Avenue strip, passing rows of assorted businesses, from Classon Avenue east to Troy Avenue, an observant visitor can witness different cultural rituals, see varieties of dress – in all lengths and designs, and be greeted by workers, managers, owners in many languages: French, Hebrew, Russian, Pakistani, Italian, Spanish of all dialects, and more.

While the diversity along this Gateway can be broken into property owners of middle-eastern heritage; staff and workers primarily of African Diasporan descent; renting business owners of a mélange of cultures, including European and African American; and corporate retailers, it can be argued that this Central Brooklyn BID is one of the most multi-ethnic of all BIDS in New York City – where there are some 1,000 of these merchant associations, nationally, including some 70 in New York City, alone.

“There are more than 300 businesses managed, operated or owned by people of different nationalities from all over the world. And that’s an aspect that makes us unique. Also, our ultimate goal is to create a Business District that enjoys a balance between small business entrepreneurship and corporate entities. says Joyce P. Turner, chair, Bed-Stuy Gateway.

The “us” includes a collective of pharmacies, grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, florists, financial institutions, athletic gyms, bakeries, shoe shops, cafes, travel agencies, check cashers, newsstands, supermarkets, hair salons, law and real estate offices and more. And Ms. Turner admits that it would not be fair to say that this is an idyllic situation. There are challenges and growing pains since 2009 when the Gateway joined the world of the BID, which was first kicked off in Toronto in 1970. “But with the BID status,” she says, “there’s an attempt to connect our worlds so that we work together to bring traffic to the area.” Ms. Turner runs her family business founded by her father, the late William Turner, at Fulton near Throop, some 50 years ago. It is a realty, tax preparation, and travel enterprise, and very successful, mainly because the family owns the 1514 property where the multiplex of services is housed.

“Not all of the business owners own their properties,” says Idris Braithwaite, managing partner of Abu’s Bakery and son of the owner and founder. Idris II is among three of six siblings, who are partnering with their parents in the family’s landmark business near Bedford Avenue, known for its great bean pies, sweet potato pies, and other desserts.

Brathwaite, also a founding member of Gateway, believes that the BID is part of the gentrification process in the business arena, where space is prepared and prepped by small business owners, unwittingly, for actual occupation by new business owners from other areas. “The ma and pa operations will be challenged, as property values go up.”

It’s a double-edged sword, agrees Ms. Turner. As the BID creates an environment which is friendly to small businesses along the District strip, it also attracts outside businesses, squeezing out the small businesses that have weathered the storm. The concern by Mr. Brathwaite is that as ever-increasing rents make it hard for strugglers who have always lived here to survive storms and sustain enterprises.

Ms. Turner, who assumed her non-paying office last summer is working on a plan that pushes the envelope gently for the BID, and may have an impact on BIDs across the country.

“My vision is that the small businessperson who has pioneered on this strip is not left out and the marketplace will not suffer a radical change in its intended inclusive village structure.”

Essentially, Ms. Turner’s working plan is to engage all Gateway BID participants as Bedford Stuyvesant investors. “It works best when we are working for the empowerment of the community.”

To start, Ms. Turner’s plan is to ask the shopkeepers and property owners to take the first step: investing in each other. It’s a plan that is in draft stage but includes such fiscal-cliff avoidance tactics as rewarding property owners, businesses and retailers for great ideas and practices that has a positive impact on community sustainability.

Ms. Turner also is expanding the notion of community service from the CEO to the manager on the frontlines greeting the customer. She believes, “I am a proud Gateway member resonates to the customer and the energy level is increased.”

Ms. Turner has already activated the Gateway’s strategic marketing mission, one of three promises to member business owners. The other two are the provision of street cleaning maintenance and tactical security measures. All are designed to create the “Friendly environment” Mr. Braithwaite spoke of.

“As we celebrate the holidays and welcome a new year, I am proud that the BID members have unanimously agreed to use the community’s existing marketing tools and resources {including Our Time Press, the community’s largest minority-owned print communication vehicle} to spread the word of the Gateway.

At a recent meeting, Mr. Joe Long, Bed-Stuy’s dean of entrepreneurism and a BID Board member emeritus, spoke of the pioneers of the past, Franklin Thomas, Elsie Richardson and Robert Kennedy, whose joint community-development legacy is realized everyday on Fulton Street in the existence of Restoration Corporation. “These are new times, but the efforts of these old pioneers should never be forgotten: we will bring attention to all businesses that are working to empower the Bedford-Stuyvesant community.”

Ultimately, the goal of BID is to enhance community awareness and create high traffic to the strip. Says Mr. Long, “We are hopeful that rents can be stabilized and the small business owner will survive, but the BID membership working with community leaders must be united in making sure that happens.”

“This holiday, I am proud to announce that Gateway Board is purposed to act on a new vision and ideas for enhancing our role in the community and contributing to its sustainability,” says Ms. Turner. “The Gateway membership is open for business and I encourage everyone to choose Gateway for your gifts, products and services, this season and beyond.”

Lonette McKee On What Matters … and What to Remember

David Mark Greaves
-

Why Lonette McKee — who exploded on the scene in “Sparkle” and has shone like a diamond, indeed, in every one of her appearances on film, television and stage ever since — is not called a great singer, great actress, great lady of our time (as in Lena-type great), is anyone’s guess. A former child prodigy who excelled in music arts, she is multi-faceted: actress, writer, playwright, producer, director, pianist, music director, renaissance woman and more. Still, she is not a household name, and people may believe that McKee’s voice is a dub-in –Not and Never! Tomorrow night, in a one-night-only performance with world renowned legendary bassist Michael Henderson (McKee’s teen years musician pal — he taught her how to play bass), the Detroit native will give her audience an earful, live and in-person, at her “A Night to Remember”concert. “Night” event takes place at Aaron Davis Hall, tomorrow, Friday, November 30, 7:00pm, in The City College of New York (where Ms. McKee teaches drama). The award-winning actress is pulling out original songs and classics from her own suitcase of memories for some vocalizing for which she will be remembered. Last Sunday, Our Time Press caught up with the star, and following are excerpts from her messages to our readers. And by the way, it’s not too late to get tickets. See you there. (See adertisement on next page.) (BG)

On Early Appreciation for Music …
My love for music came from God. And it evolved naturally. In fact, I had no formal training. My mother took me to several major universities to get formal training, and the professors said, ‘Let her play by ear, leave her alone, she has natural talent. If you put her in class you structure her natural ability,’ they said. Some people say about their lives, ‘Oh no, I wouldn’t do anything differently.’ This is the part of my life I would have done differently, if I could have. I regret not having formal instruction.. In the Actors Workshops that I teach, I tell my students you need more than natural gifts to learn technique. You can be self-taught, but you need structure and knowledge for balance.

On
Entrepreneurism …
I teach entrepreneurism in my acting class. I tell my students that having a gift is great, but you must take it one step further and get into ownership, or you spend the rest of your life going on auditions and begging white folks for work. But entrepreneurism for people of color in the entertainment world began in earnest 20 years ago with rap. Master P took the reins and started building an empire by selling his records from the back Master p selling out of their truck. We seem to be a little slower getting on that tip and getting into that mindset, but that’s the only way we’re going to have control over our images and ownership of our stories. I think we have to walk the talk.

On the Planet Earth …
I think we have to walk the walk. I rescue animals and I am a planet earth advocate. I feel we have raped the planet into global warming. The Ice caps are melting; the Gulf Stream that goes around the earth has warmed up and that’s causing massive damage to the atmospheric conditions of the earth. We can’t just continue on this path. There must be a paradigm shift of consciousness. And I’m not saying everybody needs to be a vegetarian. I’m saying that we cannot continue to harm the other species and we need to treat the earth in a humane fashion. According to Stephen Hawkings , the mathematician and theoretician, if populations are not curbed, every individual will have 13 square inches of space. There won’t be any greenery or animals left. There will be no room.

On what’s going on and
why we should pay attention …
We must educate ourselves. I like Michelle Alexander’s book on Jim Crow. She talks about what they are doing to young black men: incarcerating them, getting them out of society. Outside of prison, they can’t get jobs, being enslaved for nothing. In fact, we really have not come out of slavery; we have just shifted gears and changed the date. Look at what’s happening to the kids. There’s some kind of negative new wave. I believe it has something to do with the Internet. I think there’s too much information coming at once, and it is hard for the Average Joe to comprehend and assimilate. I treat my internet activity as a very personal interaction. I read my fan mail, and write to my fans. I use it as a tool to communicate, but your mind has to be geared into a deeper level (when you’re on the Internet).
Global warming is definitely happening. Vibrant storms are getting ready to heap up on us. And we cannot continue to let people like Donald Trump’s son go over to Zaire and shoot elephants for the trophies. They have enough money to buy their way and we all know that is what’s happened. We need to pass legislation that does not allow these wealthy white men to take out the he last few endangered species in Africa just because they afford to do it. And the ‘green movement’ is nothing new; we are good with living close to the earth and obeying its laws. It’s selfish folks with great wealth that come in and have to tear everything down; we have always been good with living with nature, learning how to adapt, and respecting its resources. We just need to get a little closer to our roots. That’s all we should have to do.

On entertainers’ accountability
to the community …
I feel entertainers have an opportunity to say something and do something much deeper than entertain whenever they step on the stage, or behind a camera. We must use this to bring folks together. We can bring an idea to our work based around compassion, and use it to teach. Success is being spiritually connected to the God force. If we are spiritually connected and more compassion for the animals, everything will become clear to us and you know what you need to do.

On children …
They are innocent, pure gold, until we mess them up, and they start learning from an early age how to wheel and deal and all that stuff.

On a personal passion …
I love to ride horses. I’ve had horse fever since I was a little girl. I actually wrote a letter — when I was growing up in Detroit — to President Kennedy and begged him to let me have a horse in my backyard. And,they of course wrote back, saying that the laws of the city might not allow for it and I should check there. Later, I lived near a horse farm, and eventually got a lovely horse. I learned everything I needed to know about horses. I was in heaven. My horse could hunt and jump; he was huge and gentle. I could crawl under and around him. My best day was sitting in the barn listening to the horses eat, and being with my dogs and tractor, and being at one with nature.

On a turning point …
Fifteen years ago one of my agents sent me a script… to play a maid, and don’t’ get me wrong, I want to be very clear that being a maid is not anything to be ashamed of. All work is noble work. Certainly our greatparents did what they had to do to build the foundation. I felt that in 2000, for me, with my background and credits to be sent a script like this as the best thing that could happen to me forced me to instead of talk, I had to walk the waltk. I fire the agent and I told everyone I was going to write my own projects and become a filmmaker. And I would create them for women of color. I went into a self-imposed reclusive state for two and a half years, reading and writing, writing and reading. When I came out of this, I had screenplays, television concept. I realized that we can do this and it takes different motivators to inspire different people.

For me it was my disappointment in the project I was offered. I said: I don’t have to settle. I can do this. “Dream Street” is a work in progress, it’s happening.

On A Night to Remember …
I will perform with a friends Michael Henderson, who taught me bass when I was about 13. We grew up together in Detroit, and performed together back in the 60’s as teens. He was in the Funk Band and I had a local hit record. We were s too young to have driving lessons. Our parents had to drive us around town. Michael is a living legend; he performed with Miles Davis. And Friday –for this one night show – we are performing with some members of Miles Davis’ band. Michael wrote What’s Going On with Marvin Gaye. He also was the vocalist on the hit, You are my Starship. During ‘Night,’ I will pay homage to Billie Holiday. I’m enamored of her story and everything about her. What made her so great? She was the greatest interpreter of music. Other great ones: Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington, Della Reese, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland – I respect all of them. A night to remember is truly going to be a night to remember. A lot of people don’t know that I actually sang my songs in the films Cotton Club, Sparkle and other productions. What will surprise the audience, too, is when they see that I am a real singer, a real pianist.

How to start Your Genealogy Journey

Editor, Our Time Press
-
0

By Sylvia Wong Lewis, First of a 3-part series

The woman searching through the rubble of her destroyed Staten Island home after Storm Sandy still haunts me. The news report showed her clinging a drenched wedding photo with a glazed, bewildered look. Like many Storm Sandy survivors, I had post-Katrina flashbacks. Grateful to have survived but thinking about legacy—family photos, letters, keepsakes—all elements of my family genealogy.

Genealogy is taken from the Greek – genea– generation, logos-knowledge. It is the study of family descent. Vital statistics, oral history, photos, letters and family stories all play important roles.

Why do genealogy? The answer is simple: to learn your family history. “You must know where you come from to know where you going,” our elders told us. However, once you get started, your search becomes complex and personal. When I first started, I was obsessed with slavery. I also wanted to learn more my family’s migration-immigration story. Recently, I discovered new details about my Caribbean, Chinese, and Native ancestors. Mostly, I want to make a mark for my family and to empower the younger generation who seek answers.

Was it intuition that motivated my “genie buddy” Bernice, an expert genealogist, to click a photo of her great grandmother’s picture hanging on a wall in her New Orleans home? She also cleared a dresser drawer. “Maybe it was a premonition. But Katrina hit the next day and destroyed everything. Had I not taken a picture of a picture of my great-grandmother or collected those old items, I would have nothing,” said Bernice Bennett, host of popular genealogy radio show National Archives and Beyond. (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bernicebennett)

The items from the old drawer were priceless—her grandmother’s 1929-’33 school transcripts, an original hand-written obituary for great-grandmother written by her sister, letters from her son during WWll, an original property deed, her dad’s Army discharge papers, her parent’s marriage license, her mother’s school records, and lots of photos of her mom and girl friends hanging out Washing DC. during the 40s.

“When you find real records like that,  it’s a treasure trove. You get a guide to their life— addresses, names, details, all of these items tell a story that you would never find from the Census,” said Bernice.

How do you start your family’s genealogy?  To trace your ancestors, start with yourself. Here are some basic steps:

· Make a family tree by listing everyone in the family. Organize kin branches. Find a “genie buddy,” someone who shares your genealogy passion.

· lnterview elders, cousins, and extended family to get names, births, deaths, marriages, baptisms. Be open to discovery.

· Ask your elders about the details of their lives: work, daily life, culture, neighborhood, religion, traditions, celebrations, food, school and family stories. Document their oral history on video, photograph and audio.

· Educate yourself about resources: Ancestry.com, Family History Centers, National Archives. Attend workshops, conferences. Take DNA tests.

· Ask yourself some questions: What do you want to know? What do you know? The key is to get started and think of it as a journey. Your ancestors are waiting to be found. They left footprints for you to follow. Happy searching!

12 Local Businesses Launch “I Shop Bed-Stuy” initiative

Bedford-Stuyvesant’s growing small business network has it all – from fine wines to relaxing messages; from stellar outfits and costume jewelry to fine art and framing;and from delicious healthy food to mouth-watering pastries. And with this kind of variety there’s little reason for local residents to shop anywhere else for the holidays.

 

That’s the thinking behind “I Shop Bed-Stuy”,  a shopping campaign in which 12 local small businesses are encouraging all kinds of great deals and discounts to shop locally for the holiday season. The campaign runs from November 23 – December 25, beginning on Black Friday, and participating stores will offer special discounts on gift items.  Each store also has agreed to gift wrap each item. And for others where items cannot be gift-wrapped, such as food items, they will offer gift certificates. Here’s a rundown on six of the participating shops. Six more will be featured next week.

BREUCKELEN CELLARS

“Most of our customers enjoy red wine for Thanksgiving,” said  proprietor John Samuel, whose two-year-old wine shop is participating in the campaign. “Sangiovese rose works very well with the flavors of turkey, along with the fats and oils of other traditional holiday dishes.”

Samuel and his staff are all experts in picking the right wine for the any occasion or price range from $8 to $108. This includes a variety of white and red wines made from grapes grown in foreign lands such as Gamay from France to Pinot Noir grown in some of California and Oregon’s great vineyards.

“We have something to fit every budget and profile of our customer base,” said Samuel, who’s offering a 10 percent discount off any bottle of wine for customers that mention the I Shop Bed-Stuy program. “My business partner and I are both from Bed-Stuy and we thought the neighborhood was ready for a good wine store. We really appreciate the support we’ve gotten from the community and we’re looking forward to providing other opportunities to present new wines into the area.”

Breukelen Cellars is at 504 Nostrand Avenue. They will be open on Thanksgiving Day, 10 am to  6 pm. Normal hours: noon to 10 pm with regular wine-tasting,Thursday and Friday evening. Call: (347) 240-5421.

HOUSE of ART GALLERY

Richard Beavers,  founder and owner, said he started the gallery and custom framing shop five years ago because Bed-Stuy was an underserved area when it came to displaying up-and-coming artists.

“Art is timeless, it’s personal and it’s a statement,” said Beavers. “We’re a contemporary fine arts gallery and represent artists in a multitude of genres that are unique and distinctive that appreciates in value.”

The House of Art also specializes in custom framing, art preservation and offers installation of artwork for both residential and commercial properties.

“Our prices for art range from $100 and up for limited-edition artwork, and we’re offering 10 percent off for limited editions of art work,” said Beavers. “For the holiday special we’re offering a hundred dollars of framing work for $40 until the end of the year.”

House of Art is located at 408 Marcus Garvey Blvd. Hours:  11am to 7 pm, Wednesday-Sunday and on Monday and Tuesday by appointment. Call: (347) 663-8195.  www.hoagallery.com

Ms DAHLIA’S CAFE

When it comes to great local atmosphere and food, Ms Dahlia’s Café offers the best of both.

“Dull moments are rare here,” said Liz, who often works behind the counter for owner Margo Lewis. “We’re known for our great Italian imported coffee and mouth watering buttermilk biscuits.”

Dahlia’s also has an artsy feel and one will often strike up interesting conversations with fellow patrons on topics ranging from politics to the arts to favorite music. There are four tables and a bar area, and the café is know for its burger bar and pastries, several of which come from Balthazar in downtown Manhattan.

Dahlia’s also features free Wi-Fi, and besides great food, sells textiles and gift baskets. For the holiday season specials, the café is offering 10 percent off on special order cakes and pies.

JOHNTINE’S BOUTIQUE

 Born and raised Bed-Stuy girl Tia Jackson opened Johntines Boutique two years ago and combined her parent’s names (John and Christine) to come up with the name of the small boutique that specializes in clothes for big women in sizes 12-24.

The boutique’s clothes are trendy fabulosity – more for holiday parties than for church, said Jackson.

“We have the perfect holiday ensembles that can be worn both at parties and intimate gatherings,” she said.

Jackson, a graduate of Boys & Girls High School and a public school kindergarten teacher in the neighborhood, also carries costume jewelry and assorted accessories. Additionally, the boutique carries its own line of body butter called Aiden’s Love Body Butter.

For the holiday special, the store is offering 10 percent off any purchase.

Johntines Boutique is located at 332 Malcolm X Blvd. Hours: 3:30 to 6:30 pm Tuesday-Friday, and 12:30 to 6 pm, Sundays. Call: (347) 240-5584. The website

(www.johntines.com) is re-launching in the near future.

BROOKLYN SWIRL

Eating healthy and having fun in a family friendly atmosphere is behind owner/entrepreneur Jean Alerte’s thinking in opening Brooklyn Swirl. The eatery features mouth watering frozen yogurt with a large array of toppings along with fresh fruit smoothies and crepes. For the winter, Brooklyn Swirl has added New England (white) clam chowder, chicken noodle soup and three-bean chili.

“We decided to open the shop because we live in the neighborhood, and my wife grew up in the neighborhood and we wanted to put something healthy in the neighborhood,” said Alerte. “We wanted to give people options with a family-friendly place where kids can come and enjoy healthy food and at the same time we have senior programs.”

Brooklyn Swirl also holds an open mic every second Tuesday and Thursday of the month with the next dates for this event being Dec. 9 and 11.

Alerte is also an accomplished writer, whose first book, Do Right Do Good, has been endorsed by Russell Simmons and Dr. Dennis Kimbro. The NAACP Brooklyn Chapter will honor him with the Freedom Fund and Entrepreneurial Award of the Year on Nov. 29 at the Sheridan Hotel in Downtown Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Swirl is located at 445 Marcus Garvey Blvd. Hours: 1pm-10 pm daily. Call: (347) 915- 1949.

BROOKLYN BABY CAKES

 Myriam Nicoles opened Brooklyn Baby Cakes on Nov. 5.  She has an engineering background but got involved in baking for fun after falling in love with red velvet cake.

“I said I was going to make my own cake and then I started tweaking it,” she said, explaining she started baking for her family including her three young boys. “Then someone suggested I start selling them, and I started taking orders from home and it went viral.”

From there, Nicoles decided to open her own bakery in Bed-Stuy because she lives in the neighborhood and saw that local residents were going to other neighborhoods for good baked goods and cafes.

Currently, the bakery has nine seats and its main items are mini and regular cupcakes along with cakes, cookies and other sweets. The bakery also plans on adding breakfast and mini cheesecakes in the near future.

Brooklyn Baby Cakes is located at 506 Nostrand Avenue. It is open 7 am to 9 pm six days a week and closed Sundays. The bakery has a Facebook page. Call:(718) 484-8466.

Next week, six other participants in the Shop Bed-Stuy for the Holidays program will be featured.
